RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Science Applications International Corp. (NYSE: SAIC) announced today
that Bob Ritchie will lead the company’s software practice, effective

report to Josh Jackson, executive vice president and general manager of
the Solutions and Technology Group.

In this role, Ritchie will be responsible for strategy and investment in

“Bob is a visionary who can carry the torch following Kevin’s
retirement. Kevin and his team have established a strong foundation on
which we can build, and I thank him for his service and leadership at
SAIC,” Jackson said. “As we seek to grow and increasingly drive
commercial approaches into our software practice, Bob will lead us in
the right direction, supporting our expansion in areas of application
modernization and advanced development with an eye toward transforming
the way we deliver solutions.”

Ritchie brings a unique combination of commercial leadership and
government services expertise to this role. Before joining SAIC, Ritchie
was director of software engineering for Capital One, where he and his
team led an engineering organization of more than 500 professionals
across machine learning, cloud architecture, serverless architecture,
site reliability, cyber, fulfillment IT, and case and process
management. For Capital One, the 10th largest bank in the United States,
